Speaker assembly for headworn computer
Aspects of the present invention relate to speaker assemblies for head worn computers, including speaker assemblies in a temple portion of a head-worn computer.
1. A wearable head device comprising:
a display;
a speaker assembly;
a side arm; and
a microphone,
wherein:
the display is in communication with one or more processors, the one or more processors configured to provide visual content for presentation via the display,
the speaker assembly is positioned on a top portion or a side portion of the side arm to project the audio signal forward away from a user's ear,
the speaker assembly is in communication with the one or more processors, the one or more processors further configured to provide audio content for presentation via the speaker assembly, and
the one or more processors are further configured to, in response to receiving a speech signal via the microphone, cause the speaker assembly to emit an audio signal that comprises a language translation of the speech signal.
2. The wearable head device of claim 1 , wherein providing visual content for presentation via the display comprises providing the visual content for presentation to the user via the display when the wearable head device is worn by the user.
3. The wearable head device of claim 1 , wherein providing audio content for presentation via the speaker assembly comprises providing the audio content for presentation to the user via the speaker assembly when the wearable head device is worn by the user.
4. The wearable head device of claim 1 , wherein the side arm comprises a temple portion, and wherein the speaker assembly is coupled to the temple portion.
5. A method comprising:
displaying, by a display of a wearable head device, visual content, wherein the display is in communication with one or more processors;
emitting, by a speaker assembly of the wearable head device, audio content, wherein the speaker assembly is in communication with the one or more processors, and wherein the speaker assembly is positioned on a top portion or a side portion of a side arm of the wearable head device;
sensing, by a microphone of the wearable head device, a speech signal;
in response to receiving the speech signal via the microphone, causing, by the one or more processors, the speaker assembly to emit an audio signal in a forward direction away from a user's ear, the audio signal comprising a language translation of the speech signal.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein displaying visual content by the display comprises displaying the visual content to the user by the display when the wearable head device is worn by the user.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein emitting audio content by the speaker assembly comprises emitting the audio content to the user by the speaker assembly when the wearable head device is worn by the user.
8. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
providing, via a display of a wearable head device, visual content for presentation, wherein the display is in communication with the one or more processors;
providing, via a speaker assembly of the wearable head device, audio content for presentation, wherein the speaker assembly is in communication with the one or more processors, and wherein the speaker assembly is positioned on a top portion or a side portion of a side arm of the wearable head device;
receiving, via a microphone of the wearable head device, a speech signal; and
in response to receiving the speech signal via the microphone, causing, by the one or more processors, the speaker assembly to emit an audio signal in a forward direction away from a user's ear, the audio signal comprising a language translation of the speech signal.
9. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein providing visual content for presentation via the display comprises providing the visual content for presentation to the user via the display when the wearable head device is worn by the user.
10. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein providing audio content for presentation via the speaker assembly comprises providing the audio content for presentation to the user via the speaker assembly when the wearable head device is worn by the user.
